Chapter 912: Telepathy

Because Zhulan helped buy the house, Xuemei chatted with her mother for a while and then went back. She had a lot of things to deal with. First of all, she had to ask the housekeeper to send the luggage she brought to the new house, and she also wanted to go and see the house with her husband.

Zhulan did not go with them, mainly because the granddaughter at home was particularly pestering her. Yudie liked to stay in the main courtyard when her father was away on a long trip. Yuyi liked to stay in the main courtyard because Dong was not in a very good mood due to her pregnancy, and she was a little overwhelmed because Dong did not have that much energy. Yudie and Yuyi were like twins, so the young ladies liked to stay in the main courtyard.

Xuemei and her husband took a carriage to the courtyard. Xuemei held the key in her hand. The door had been newly painted. She unlocked the door and handed the key to her husband, saying, "This will be our home from now on."

The key in Jiang Sheng's hand was really heavy. It was a bunch of keys, and it could be seen that all the houses in the yard were locked.

Jiang Sheng was looking forward to his new home. If this was his wife's dowry, he would not be so excited. This house was bought with the money saved by his family, and he walked in with anticipation.

The yard wasn't very big, but Jiang Sheng liked it very much. "Thank you, mother-in-law."

Xuemei had already opened all the rooms. The furniture in the rooms was all new. After a round, Xuemei found that she didn't need to buy anything. She was very happy. "It's getting late. Let's go back."

Jiang Sheng was already imagining the future, but, "Forget it, let's go back."

Xuemei tilted her head, "What do you want to say?"

Jiang Sheng was a little embarrassed, "I miss Jiang Du. He hasn't finished school yet at this hour. I want to pick him up."

Xuemei's heart moved, then she shook her head and said, "Forget it, my parents are waiting for us to return."

Jiang Sheng thought of his parents. They had been timid ever since they entered the mansion, especially his mother's behavior in the early years. His mother had always been feeling uneasy. His parents needed his and Xuemei's company. Jiang Sheng held his wife's hand tightly. He felt that he must have accumulated virtue for several lifetimes to be able to marry Xuemei.

Not long after Xuemei returned, the children from the academy finished school.

When Xuemei got the news, her eldest son had already come to the yard. Xuemei looked at her eldest son with a smile. When they were in their hometown, her eldest son was a little scholar, and now he is a young master.

Jiang Sheng was also better. His son had changed and he was now proud.

The old couple of the Jiang family didn't dare to go forward. They stared, trying to find the shadow of their past in their grandson, but unfortunately they failed. Jiang Du had changed so much. The old couple didn't dare to reach out to their grandson who was dressed like a young master.

Jiang Du was happy. His grandparents' house was nice, but he preferred living in his own home. "Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom."

Jiang Sheng patted his eldest son's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay."

He couldn't say anything except good.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was thinking about the daughter of the eldest son who had come to the capital, so he asked the Minister to leave a little earlier. However, when he walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Revenue and looked at the carriage in front of the door, he realized that he could not go home early.

Zhou Shuren was so impressed by this carriage that he walked forward in a proper manner. The curtain of the carriage was opened a little, and the person inside said to Zhou Shuren, "Get in."

Zhou Shuren motioned for Jianyan and his own carriage to follow, and he got on the carriage himself, "I have seen the emperor and the prince."

The emperor thought he was wearing enough. It was almost spring and the wind was biting. But Zhou Shuren was wearing too much. His cloak was thick. He saw clearly just now that if there was no one behind him pushing him, Zhou Shuren would have had a hard time getting on the carriage. "I think your official uniform is too small."

Zhou Shuren tightened his body and said, "I think so too."

The emperor snorted and dared to answer, "You and I are truly in tune with each other. I just arrived at the door of the Ministry of Revenue and you left the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhou Shuren was speechless. Who wants to be in tune with you? "My eldest daughter has already arrived in the capital. The minister and I asked for leave and left early."

So it wasn't that he left early because he was crazy about it, he did ask for leave.

After hearing this, the emperor thought of the news that he had sent people to investigate, and his eyes looked at Zhou Shuren more gently. He was indeed a lucky general, and he really found out a lot of things. "I just came out for a walk, to be honest, I haven't been to your house yet."

Zhou Shuren sneered. You have only been to the minister's house a few times. Who are you trying to fool by saying you are just strolling around at this critical moment? You still want to go to his house. He couldn't help but admire the emperor's method of diverting attention. "My house was gifted by the emperor."

The emperor smiled and said, "Then I'll go to your house and take a look."

Zhou Shuren smiled. Even though he knew the emperor had ulterior motives, he had to cooperate with him with a smile. The person in front of him was at the top of the food chain. "Yes."

The emperor's carriage is no secret. Don't be ridiculous when he visits incognito. The emperor is the one who cherishes his life the most. Even if he travels in a low-key manner, there are still many people following him. So everyone knows everything that should be known as soon as the emperor leaves the capital.

When the second prince got the news, he said to his adopted counselor, "Zhou Shuren is more important to my father than I thought."

The conspirators were extremely envious of Lord Zhou, "Lord Zhou also has the ability to be valued."

The second prince Zhang Jingyang also admitted this, saying that he also benefited from his blind guess two years ago. Although it was troublesome to apply for it at the Ministry of Revenue, after the application, his shop, which had been losing money, became profitable again.

It wasn't just him. Even the third and fourth brothers made a lot of money, not to mention that it boosted consumption in the capital, and the Ministry of Revenue collected a lot of taxes.

The third prince was depressed. He had tried to restrain Zhou Shuren more than once. It was obvious that Zhou Shuren loved money very much, but he was not tempted by the money that was delivered to his doorstep.

The Fourth Prince was at ease. Everyone knew that Zhou Shuren's adopted son would be coming to Beijing and joining the Ministry of Rites. He was not panicked. The more his father valued Zhou Shuren, the happier he was.

At the Zhou Mansion, Jianyan saw the carriage heading towards his home and had already ridden back home.

Zhulan got the news. She was not sure whether the emperor would stay in the palace for dinner, so she said to Mrs. Song, "Ask the kitchen to prepare more."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Prepare something light."

She had heard a lot about what happened in the court and estimated that the emperor was very angry, so it would be better for him to calm down.

Xuemei was stunned holding the child, but Xuehan calmed her down, "Mom, my elder sister and I will go back first."

Xuemei spoke, and Li and Zhao came back to their senses. Li's hands were shaking. That was the emperor, and the emperor came to the house. "Mother, I, we will go back first."

Zhulan nodded, "Well, you all go back."

She also needed to change her clothes. She was of a certain rank, and who knew whether the emperor would meet her. Although she didn't need to change into the imperial robe, she still had to change into something more formal.

The originally bustling house ended up with Zhulan being the only one left.

By the time Zhulan changed her clothes and hairstyle, the emperor had already entered the palace.

The emperor and the prince walked in front, Zhou Shuren took a step back. The emperor looked at the house and thought to himself that he was indeed generous. His generosity did not lie in the size of the house, but in its location. He gave Zhou Shuren a house with such a good location.
